Found your way here from Pocket Notebooks or Nero’s Notes? Welcome. Same Stuart. A little more room to ramble.
Pocket Notebooks is where we notice things and make a few marks on paper. Writer Interrupted is where some of those small beginnings become essays, stories and longer work.
Pull up a chair. Try a piece.
A story from life: Burnt Lips
Paris, Scottish rugby and some regrettably powerful Calvados. A small taste of the things I find worth writing about.
For the stationery curious: Filo-what?
If a notebook brought you here, this seems a reasonable next stop.
Something longer: Sean
Try the opening of my fiction project. The first scene is there to sample; the continuing story is part of the members’ archive.
Enjoyed that? Let me send you the next one.
Join my free Writer Interrupted newsletter for new public essays on life, writing, tools and stationery, emailed as I publish them. No fixed schedule. Unsubscribe whenever you like.
This is the same newsletter I mention at Pocket Notebooks. One subscription is all you need.
Help make the next piece possible
If you like what I write and want more of it, paid membership supports the time it takes to make it. Supporters receive a monthly members’ letter, occasional extracts and early previews of longer work, and access to the members-only archive.
£3 a month or £24 a year. Start with the free writing, or become a supporter whenever you’re ready.

And if you’d rather get back to your own notebook, keep going. There’s no entrance exam.
